In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
Prayer to the Mississippi
Father of Waters,
bison horned,
god that flows
through the center
of our lives:
daily you cleanse us,
daily you nourish us,
daily you give us life.
In return we give you thanks;
in return we praise you
and offer due libation:
milk, red wine,
and worthiest of all,
your own good water.
Father, hail!
